"And I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using this as an using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We should be operating from a place of love for our kids."
"Kids died today. This needs to be about them. This needs to be wrapping our arms around these families with every bit of love that we can possibly show. And I know that our Minneapolis family and well beyond is prepared to do exactly that. And so, my message to everyone out there is, again, these families are experiencing some acute pain right now; but don't just think of these as somebody else's kids. Think of your own."
A shooter opened fire at the adjoining church at Annunciation Catholic School Wednesday morning, killing two children, ages 8 and 10, and wounding 17 others including 14 more children. Police identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, formerly Robert, who used a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun before turning the gun on himself. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemned efforts to use the shooting to attack the transgender community and urged against operating from hate. Frey called for compassion, collective support for the grieving families, and action to prevent such violence in the future.
